2014 Women’s Golf Croquet World Championship – Winner: Judith Hanekom (ZAF)
The 5th Women's Golf Croquet World Championship
Venue: Cairo, Egypt
Dates: 20-28 November 2014
Champion: Judith Hanekom (South Africa)
Finalist: Jenny Clarke (New Zealand)
South Africa is now the proud possessor of both the Golf Croquet World Championship (Reg Bamford) and the Women's Golf Croquet World Championship which was held in Cairo from 16 to 21 November 2014.
Judith Hanekom only just made it into the knock-out, coming 4th in Block C with only one win, but then defeated four top Egyptian women players to reach the final and face New Zealand's Jenny Clarke, the 2011 runner-up to Rachel Rowe of England. Judith made a great start to the best-of-five final by taking the first game 7-3 but Jenny fought back to win the next two 7-4, 7-5. Judith led 6-4 in the fourth, was pulled back to 6-6 but made no mistake at 13 to square the match at 2-2. The deciding game was nip-and-tuck all the way to 5-5 but, after a short duel at 11, Jenny had the misfortune to peel Judith to give her a 6-5 lead. Judith took this unexpected gift with both hands and wrapped up the match 7-5.
Many congratulations to Judith for a hard fought campaign and a superb victory and commiserations to Jenny who played very well throughout the event.

| After today’s play in Cairo the quarter finalists are known. Six from Egypt, one from Ireland, and one from Australia. In an exciting match Jane Shorten of Ireland beat Carole Jackson of South Africa 7-6, 7-6. A wrong ball error by Dallas Cooke (NZ) at the beginning of the third game was costly as Sherin Hamdi (Egypt) ran a number of long hoops to win the third game. Christine Pont (Australia) beat Julie Hudson (England) with a long series of very consistent hoop approaches. Two of the favourites Nahed Hassan and Abir Moustafa won in two games. | ||

Bernard Neal dies at 93
The croquet world has lost one of its most venerable figures. Bernard Neal passed away on 26 March 2016 juust short of his 94th birthday. He had been unwell for some time and had been admitted to hospital after a series of falls at home in Cheltenham.
Croquet owes a considerable debt of gratitude to Bernard as a top-class player, a very capable administrator and an invaluable link between the Croquet Association and the All-England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club where he served as a committee member and Vice President for many years. It was through Bernard’s good offices that the AELTCC presented the Wimbledon Cup in 1989 to be the trophy for the Association Croquet World Championship.
Bernard came to croquet via lawn tennis and Wimbledon after a full-sized croquet court was installed in 1957. He joined the Croquet Association in 1960 and soon rose to the top of the game. He represented Great Britain in the MacRobertson Shield in 1969, 1974 and 1979. He was soon elected to Council which benefitted over many years from his sound judgement and wise advice. He became Chairman of Council in 1972 and proceeded to set a record that is unlikely ever to be beaten, namely winning the Open Championship in both years of his chairmanship! His other unique claim to sporting fame is as the winner of the greatest number of Wimbledon titles, namely 37 times the winner of the Wimbledon Croquet Championship. This far surpasses the haul of any tennis player.
Bernard enjoyed good health into his nineties and it was a very fitting tribute to him when he was elected President of the Croquet Association in 2004 in succession to John Solomon.
Above all, he was a gentleman, the most sporting of opponents and a very good and generous friend to very many croquet players in England and across the croquet world. He will be greatly missed and our thoughts and condolences go to Liz, Mike and Cathy on the loss of their husband and father.
